Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Shadow of the Hakenkreuz is a biographical journal of the first half of German history in the Twentieth Century as observed by a German family. Coming out of the first world war, Germans tried to understand their lives apart from a ruling imperial family, adjusting to democracy under the Weimar Republic. Before they understood this new society, they found themselves ensnared by a totally new political system. Freedom for Germany and Europe came at a ghastly price of death and destruction, when the rest of the world helped to throw off the yoke of the Hakenkreuz.
